Abstract excerpt

Viral infection is a common complication after kidney transplantation. The role of natural killer cells (NK cells) in this setting remains unknown. NK cells express activating and inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). We analyzed whether activating KIR genes carried by kidney transplant-recipients influence the rate of viral infection during the first year after transplantation. In patients...
